AMPLIFIERS OSCILLATORS: Achieving Effective AMPLIFIER DESIGNS

摘要

In Design of RF and Microwave Amplifiers and Oscillators, Second Edition, Pieter L.D. Abrie offers expanded derivations and problem sets to make this material more accessible and easier to master. The author focuses on both iterative and analytical synthesis techniques for designing linear amplifiers. In building on the first edition, he provides new material by considering a wide range of bias schemes including Class A, B, AB, E (nonlinear only), F, and Doherty amplifiers, as well as designing for amplifier stability and conditionally stable amplifiers. Details on the design of low-noise amplifiers (LNAs) are provided as well. In addition, this edition notes the influence of harmonic terminations on power performance. Models are presented for square spiral inductors and metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitors, which can be used to design monolithic-microwave-integrated-circuit (MMIC) amplifiers at microwave and millimeter frequencies.
